I noticed how he continually referred to everyone as "them out there". I just wish he knew there was some of us out here who could not be more thankful for what he has done. I wish I had his email or something so I could tell him there are some people out there who share his passion for vinyl.

That's awesome! Thank you so much! I wish I could get the ball rolling on this. I really think that there are enough people out there that would donate 20 dollars to get this collection into a museum. This collection is more valuable than Lincoln's rocker or the first American flag, because it doesn't just embody one concept or symbol, it represents the culmination of our artistic expression as a society. Maybe I'll write the Ten Club about this. Maybe with a little help from the top we can get the ball moving. A national hero does not get buried in a pauper's grave and a collection of this magnitude does not deserve to fall apart due to general disinterest.
What I love about music is every day I could find a song or artist I've never heard before and instantly fall in love with it. Imagine what I could find in there?
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
OK, all the good feelings aside of how great this collection is the effort he put into it, I think the problem is he's become too damn cynical. To be saying stuff like nobody gives a damn and the world is dead, why? because he's trying to sell his ENTIRE collection in one shot and he's surprised that there aren't any takers yet? that's pretty insulting if you ask me. Rather than sit around waiting for someone to write him a check for 3 million dollars he should start chipping away at it selling lots on ebay or something. I know i'd be there checking out everyone one of them.
My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"
collection like that doesnt deserve to be on ebay..... not saying we arent worthy of it and I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate some of those records...but imo it needs to be placed into a museum type thing...breaking it up wouldnt be fair to what this guy has done in terms of amassing them all.
